ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA

Posted by kdawson on from the rebrand-as-ashattery dept.

Scott Lockwood writes "Below Average Dave, a Dr. Demento style parody artist, has been shut down by the ASCAP. This collective, acting as badly as the RIAA, is now attempting to ignore the 2 Live Crew Supreme Court decision that parodies are new derivative works. Just like the RIAA, ASCAP seems intent on misrepresents the law. If you know anyone who can help BA Dave in his plight, please contact him." This artist doesn't have the resources to fight the ASCAP, even though the law is pretty clearly on his side. Anyone at the EFF or the ACLU interested?

    Linux is an OS for faggots which is why most of the users live in the queerest state in the US: California.

    Windows is an OS for cretinous, inbred retards. That's why all of its users are east of New Mexico and south of Virginia.
